Stanislaw Gruszka pointed out, that commit
"iwl3945: queue the right work if the scan needs to be aborted"
has an awkward definition of "right". Specifically the abort_scan work
doesn't notify the generic wireless stack that the scan was aborted.

In order to get rid of the warning in bug
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17722
we inform ieee80211_scan_completed that we are aborting
the scan by setting the apropriate status bit in request_scan and 
pass it into ieee80211_scan_completed.

Hi John!

Here is the fix that Stanislaw described. 
(Yes, it is in a brown paper bag.)  Please wait for him to review this. 

Another option would be to just revert my previous patch and live with the 
warning until the scanning rework hit's mainline.

Regards,
Flo

This patch is not so bad, but better would be just return value from 
{iwlagn,iwl3945}_request_scan instead of queuing anything. I will
prepare patch(s) today or tomorrow.
